Benefits
of a thermal

During the winter months there is little better than getting cosy and insulating yourself from the cold. Blinds and curtains with thermal linings are perfect for such a task as they keep heat in during the colder months of the year while in the summer, they will keep the heat out. This, in turn, means less energy is needed to keep a space warm which not only saves money, but the environment too! Thermal linings are ivory coloured.

What other types of linings are available?
Beyond the benefits of thermal and blackout linings you can also consider a premium lining or interlining.
- Premium lining - This is a polycotton material that helps to protect the main fabric from fading following exposure to sunlight. It is a thin backing to the blind which is ivory coloured.
- Interlined - Interlining enhances the look of your blind by giving it more body and increasing its fullness. This, in turn, makes the blind more luxurious and helps it to hang nicely. Interlining also offers some of the qualities of a thermal lining.
